The
usage
I
had
there
was
not
so
dreadful
as
at
first
I
apprehended
;
nor
was
I
carried
up
the
country
to
the
emperor
's
court
,
as
the
rest
of
our
men
were
,
but
was
kept
by
the
captain
of
the
rover
as
his
proper
prize
,
and
made
his
slave
,
being
young
and
nimble
,
and
fit
for
his
business
.
At
this
surprising
change
of
my
circumstances
,
from
a
merchant
to
a
miserable
slave
,
I
was
perfectly
overwhelmed
;
and
now
I
looked
back
upon
my
father
's
prophetic
discourse
to
me
,
that
I
should
be
miserable
and
have
none
to
relieve
me
,
which
I
thought
was
now
so
effectually
brought
to
pass
that
I
could
not
be
worse
;
for
now
the
hand
of
Heaven
had
overtaken
me
,
and
I
was
undone
without
redemption
;
but
,
alas
!
this
was
but
a
taste
of
the
misery
I
was
to
go
through
,
as
will
appear
in
the
sequel
of
this
story
.
52
As
my
new
patron
,
or
master
,
had
taken
me
home
to
his
house
,
so
I
was
in
hopes
that
he
would
take
me
with
him
when
he
went
to
sea
again
,
believing
that
it
would
some
time
or
other
be
his
fate
to
be
taken
by
a
Spanish
or
Portugal
man-of-war
;
and
that
then
I
should
be
set
at
liberty
.
But
this
hope
of
mine
was
soon
taken
away
;
for
when
he
went
to
sea
,
he
left
me
on
shore
to
look
after
his
little
garden
,
and
do
the
common
drudgery
of
slaves
about
his
house
;
and
when
he
came
home
again
from
his
cruise
,
he
ordered
me
to
lie
in
the
cabin
to
look
after
the
ship
.
53
Here
I
meditated
nothing
but
my
escape
,
and
what
method
I
might
take
to
effect
it
,
but
found
no
way
that
had
the
least
probability
in
it
;
nothing
presented
to
make
the
supposition
of
it
rational
;
for
I
had
nobody
to
communicate
it
to
that
would
embark
with
me
-
no
fellow-slave
,
no
Englishman
,
Irishman
,
or
Scotchman
there
but
myself
;
so
that
for
two
years
,
though
I
often
pleased
myself
with
the
imagination
,
yet
I
never
had
the
least
encouraging
prospect
of
putting
it
in
practice
.

After
about
two
years
,
an
odd
circumstance
presented
itself
,
which
put
the
old
thought
of
making
some
attempt
for
my
liberty
again
in
my
head
.
My
patron
lying
at
home
longer
than
usual
without
fitting
out
his
ship
,
which
,
as
I
heard
,
was
for
want
of
money
,
he
used
constantly
,
once
or
twice
a
week
,
sometimes
oftener
if
the
weather
was
fair
,
to
take
the
ship
's
pinnace
and
go
out
into
the
road
a
-
fishing
;
and
as
he
always
took
me
and
young
Maresco
with
him
to
row
the
boat
,
we
made
him
very
merry
,
and
I
proved
very
dexterous
in
catching
fish
;
insomuch
that
sometimes
he
would
send
me
with
a
Moor
,
one
of
his
kinsmen
,
and
the
youth
-
the
Maresco
,
as
they
called
him
-
to
catch
a
dish
of
fish
for
him
.
55
It
happened
one
time
,
that
going
a-fishing
in
a
calm
morning
,
a
fog
rose
so
thick
that
,
though
we
were
not
half
a
league
from
the
shore
,
we
lost
sight
of
it
;
and
rowing
we
knew
not
whither
or
which
way
,
we
laboured
all
day
,
and
all
the
next
night
;
and
when
the
morning
came
we
found
we
had
pulled
off
to
sea
instead
of
pulling
in
for
the
shore
;
and
that
we
were
at
least
two
leagues
from
the
shore
.
However
,
we
got
well
in
again
,
though
with
a
great
deal
of
labour
and
some
danger
;
for
the
wind
began
to
blow
pretty
fresh
in
the
morning
;
but
we
were
all
very
hungry
.
56
But
our
patron
,
warned
by
this
disaster
,
resolved
to
take
more
care
of
himself
for
the
future
;
and
having
lying
by
him
the
longboat
of
our
English
ship
that
he
had
taken
,
he
resolved
he
would
not
go
a
-
fishing
any
more
without
a
compass
and
some
provision
;
so
he
ordered
the
carpenter
of
his
ship
,
who
also
was
an
English
slave
,
to
build
a
little
state-room
,
or
cabin
,
in
the
middle
of
the
long
-
boat
,
like
that
of
a
barge
,
with
a
place
to
stand
behind
it
to
steer
,
and
haul
home
the
main-sheet
;
the
room
before
for
a
hand
or
two
to
stand
and
work
the
sails
.
57
She
sailed
with
what
we
call
a
shoulder-of-mutton
sail
;
and
the
boom
jibed
over
the
top
of
the
cabin
,
which
lay
very
snug
and
low
,
and
had
in
it
room
for
him
to
lie
,
with
a
slave
or
two
,
and
a
table
to
eat
on
,
with
some
small
lockers
to
put
in
some
bottles
of
such
liquor
as
he
thought
fit
to
drink
;
and
his
bread
,
rice
,
and
coffee
.

We
went
frequently
out
with
this
boat
a-fishing
;
and
as
I
was
most
dexterous
to
catch
fish
for
him
,
he
never
went
without
me
.
It
happened
that
he
had
appointed
to
go
out
in
this
boat
,
either
for
pleasure
or
for
fish
,
with
two
or
three
Moors
of
some
distinction
in
that
place
,
and
for
whom
he
had
provided
extraordinarily
,
and
had
,
therefore
,
sent
on
board
the
boat
overnight
a
larger
store
of
provisions
than
ordinary
;
and
had
ordered
me
to
get
ready
three
fusees
with
powder
and
shot
,
which
were
on
board
his
ship
,
for
that
they
designed
some
sport
of
fowling
as
well
as
fishing
.
59
I
got
all
things
ready
as
he
had
directed
,
and
waited
the
next
morning
with
the
boat
washed
clean
,
her
ancient
and
pendants
out
,
and
everything
to
accommodate
his
guests
;
when
by-and-by
my
patron
came
on
board
alone
,
and
told
me
his
guests
had
put
off
going
from
some
business
that
fell
out
,
and
ordered
me
,
with
the
man
and
boy
,
as
usual
,
to
go
out
with
the
boat
and
catch
them
some
fish
,
for
that
his
friends
were
to
sup
at
his
house
,
and
commanded
that
as
soon
as
I
got
some
fish
I
should
bring
it
home
to
his
house
;
all
which
I
prepared
to
do
.
60
This
moment
my
former
notions
of
deliverance
darted
into
my
thoughts
,
for
now
I
found
I
was
likely
to
have
a
little
ship
at
my
command
;
and
my
master
being
gone
,
I
prepared
to
furnish
myself
,
not
for
fishing
business
,
but
for
a
voyage
;
though
I
knew
not
,
neither
did
I
so
much
as
consider
,
whither
I
should
steer
-
anywhere
to
get
out
of
that
place
was
my
desire
.
